Book Reviews of Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 8 (Battle Angel Alita (Graphic Novels))
Book Review: Read it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This volume is quite good. Don't cry because Alita isn't in much of it. It's a good story, and it tells the tale of how the world running computer Merlin, which seems to have started the chain of events that lead to Alita's world, was built. The other point that seems to have escaped some readers, is that the character of Caerula the vampire is meant to be compared to Alita. This story is meant to remind you of Alita's earlier innocence. They are both women who have lived over centuries, been witness to and a part of history, loved with tragic results, fought and made hard choices. Caerula is what Alita will be if she fails. A cyborg is like a vampire in that they have greater power than humans and are virtually immortal, some of them even hunt humans. Alita has to succeed where Caerula failed, just like Luke has to succeed where Anakin failed etc...(sorry to use the SW reference) Or, perhaps Caerula will come back for a final battle with Alita with no holds barred, the old two sides of the same coin finale. Last time it seemed she gave up to let Alita "restore the world", because she thought it was destiny. The current story is showing us why she did that, since she is the one that could have beaten Alita. I think the story of Caerula is one of the most important chapters of this entire series, not some "side story" just to kill time. If it took up three more volumes with no Alita, I would say it was too far afield, and should be it's own series, but I doubt that will be the case. Just enjoy a good story where you can get it.
